FBI Agents Searched Paul Manafort's Home

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel in May, and tasked with investigating charges levied by the Democrats that the Trump campaign colluded with Russian Federation in the 2016 presidential election.

The FBIconducted a predawn raid on former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort's Alexandria, Va., home two weeks ago, seizing tax and banking records that in some cases had been provided to a Senate committee. Attorney General Jeff Sessions had recused himself from any investigations into the Trump campaign activities, on grounds that he was part of the campaign himself.

The company the committee thinks was behind a mostly unverified dossier on Trump - Fusion GPS and CEO Glenn Simpson - has not turned over any documents yet.

Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni confirmed that the raid took place and asserted that the former campaign chairman was fully cooperating with the investigation. Among the notes Manafort reportedly submitted to Congress are his notes from the now-infamous June 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr and a Russian lawyer at the Trump Tower.

In recent months, Mr Flynn and Mr Manafort have turned over documents to congressional committees investigating the election interference. He has come under intense scrutiny in the investigation into Russian election meddling since previous year.

Federal agents arrived at Manafort's home without warning and departed with records, according to the report.
